Q. i have extremely yellow teeth. i dont smoke, drink tea or coffe so i dont understand why my teeth should be so yellow. please could you tell me why this is happening and what i could do to get them a bit more presentable in other words whiter. please answer me as soon as possible because i need to start smiling with confidence thankyou.
A. The yellowness of your teeth is based on the proportion of enamel to dentine and the water content of the dentine. A simpler way to treat this is to have your teeth professionally bleached by a dentist. Treatment can take from 2 weeks to 6 months depending on the type of internal stain

Q. I was born with a discolouration on my teeth (a slightly yellowy checkered effect up close) due to how I passed through the birth canal or something like that! Would zoom whitening work on my teeth or would this only emphasise the problem? Thanks
A. hi many thanks for your email, with such intrinsic staining there are two outcomes with tooth whitening, the first is the problem will decrease and the staining will blend, the second outcome is that the whitening will emphisize the problem. the main concern is that until you try you wont know.
hope this is helpful.

Q. Hello Dr., I read about enamel erosion on front teeth and I believe that this is my case, i have a few yellowish/transparent spots on my 2 front teeth. I read from one of your replies that I can’t restore the color with diet or habit, however what can I do to prevent more erosion and to at least keep it as is. thank you
A. Check your diet for acidic foods particularly fizzy drinks diet or otherwise. This is the cause of most erosion so reducing this will help prevent further enamel loss

Q. Hi there, My teeth have been yellow for as long as I can remember. (I first became aware when I was 11 or 12, I am now 44.) On and off over the years I have tried various home kits/toothpastes with no success, I have also been to a dentist and had the Britesmile treatment done approximately 3 years ago which also proved very disappointing. I have seriously considered having veneers (Lumineers) but one dentist suggested that I should try the Enlighten whitening system first as my teeth are fairly straight, its only the colour that lets them down. From this do you have any suggestions or opinions on the various whitening systems that may help me?
A. The main thing is time exposure to a low concentration of bleach. This can take up to 6 months to get a reaonable result in heavily stained teeth effected by tetracycline antibiotics – I suspect that this is what has caused your teeth to be so stained.

Q. One of my 15 year old daughter’s front teeth is dark grey. Her dentist says it is as a result of bleeeding inside the tooth, but it is still alive and recommended tooth whitening (smile-x) on just that one tooth. The tooth is not stained; the discolouration has happened inside of the tooth and so I don’t see how whitening the outside of the tooth will help. Is there any method of possibly whitening the inside of t
he tooth? I do not want her to have veneers. What is your opinion? Thank you for your time.
A. You cannot have internal bleaching on a tooth that has not had root canal treatment. I recommend you have this tooth x-rayed and ask your dentist to do a pulp test. If the reason for the tooth discolouration is internal bleeding, the tooth is definately dead. In this case it need to have a Root Canal, you then can try internal bleaching.
kind regards

Q. Hi, I would be very grateful if you could advise me. I am 47 years old. Two weeks ago I had the braces removed from my teeth after wearing them for 15 months. I had overcrowding on my bottom teeth and I felt that my teeth protruded on my top teeth. That was my reason for seeking treatment. One of the first things I noticed was that very soon after having the brace fitted my teeth became quite discoloured, yellowish in appearance. I consoled myself that I could have them whitened when the brace came off but was still worried. I told the orthodontist my concerns and he said that he had noted that my teeth were quite yellowish before he put the brace on but I am sure that the colour changed almost straight away. In particular around the gums about a third of the way up my teeth was quite yellow which I had not noticed before. I decided to wait until the brace came off to see if I could get them whitened. Two weeks ago the brace was removed and the bonded retainer applied straight away. He then cleaned my teeth very rigiously for quite some time. When I looked in the mirror in the surgery I was dismayed at the colour. Very yellow and matte without shine. He cleaned my teeth again with pumice and water spray. They looked better but without shine or vitality. Even now two weeks later the shine has not come back properly and the colour is not right. Also to my horror there were little holes at the top of my teeth where they meet the gums. The holes are each side of the tooth next to my two front teeth on each side of my mouth. Altogether I can see three holes on my top row of teeth. This is also evident on my bottom teeth but not so noticeable. The orthodontist didn’t mention this to me or let me know it had already happened. I cant remember seeing them in my mouth when the brace was in either. At the beginning of my treatment I remember him telling me that this can occur but he can correct it by shaving the sides of the teeth to make them closer together. I am so upset. I paid nearly £4500 for my treatment and didn’t expect them to look like this. I think the holes really age me and I am conscious of smiling broadly. This is a lot of money for me. I couldn’t say how disappointed I was to the orthodontist at the time when he first removed the brace as I was so shocked and I didn’t want to come over as criticizing his work. A few days ago I went back to the orthodontist to have an impression made of my mouth just in case the bonded retainer comes out (I think that was the reason for the impression). I mentioned my worry to the orthodontist about the holes but he only said that they may close on their own but unlikely. I am so disappointed. Surely he could have closed the holes during the treatment. I paid nearly £4500 and didn’t expect this to happen. Is it too late for me now. Kind regards
A. I’m afraid this is not my field as i am not an orthodontist.
I recommend you go for a second opinon with an orthodontist and discuss your concerns with them. They can give you a full mouth assessment and advise you from there.
Kind regards

Q. Hie Doc. Wich is the best tooth paste i can use to whiten my teeth,they are not in a bad state,but i feel they need some whitening.I bought BLANX just two days ago and i wonder if it can do an good.Please help.
A. Whitening toothpastes have limited whitening effects the best way is too professionally whiten your teeth through your dentist. Some whitening toothpastes can be abrasive and cause damage to your teeth.

Q. Hi, I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to make your teeth healthier if they are not as healthy as they should be? I know the normal flossing, brushing, healthy eating and mouthwash but can i be doing anything more? I am terrified of dentists and have recently been for a checkup after about 10 years of not going. My teeth are not too bad, i have been told but i have a wisdom tooth that needs to come out( which has just broken on me). I have also had a filling fall out a few years ago but due to my fear did not get it sorted out but now the dentist says that the gum has grown up though the whole. My dentist says that it has to be removed but when i went for the xrays the dentist at the hospital said that i could have a rootcanal instead which would save the tooth. Apart from the gum thing the tooth is healthy and the roots and centre of the tooth are absolutely fine. How will a root canal help the gum issue? Thank you for taking the time to reply.
A. The best thing you can do for your teeth is to brush and floss twice a day and see a dentist and hygienist every 6 months.
Kind regards

Q. Hello I had bulimia in the past and my teeth are heavily damaged, the front teeth especially have lost enamel and left ugly yellow marks that brings down my confidence. I am considering teeth whitening. Would this make the yellow marks disappear? Thank you for your time
A. I have treated a number of bullimic patients and if all the enamel has been removed the teeth will not whiten, better option is bonded fillings or porcelain veneers or crowns.

Q. Hello, I am thinking of undergoing cosmetic surgery but I want to get a rought estimate of the cost. I have many health problems which have affected my teeth. From a young age, I am on calcium replacement and because of this condition, from a young age, it has affected my teeth really badly. The surface of my teeth is really rigid, they are also chipped in places and look worn out. There is also discolouration and regardless of how many times i brush them and use mouthwash, it has not chhanged in appearance. My gums also tend to bleed a lot, during brushing.. What are the treatments that I woud hav to undergo, how much on average would they cost and how long would they last for? I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Regards..
A. The treatment suitable for your case would depend on the position of your teeth. If you teeth are relatively aligned, then Veneers could be the treatment for you. Veneers can change the shape, colour and size of your teeth and can also correct gappy and slightly crowded teeth.
If your teeth are very crowded then you may have to have some orthodontics beforehand.
Without seeing your mouth it is impossible for me to give you an accurate opinion. You are very welcome to book a consultation with me at my clinic Umbrella. For more info please see www.umbrellasmiles.com
